The day before the Groundhog Day in British Columbia (Includes interview and first-hand account)

The groundhog, the most sought individual by children tomorrow has one more day to come out to check the weather. It seems that it won’t have any problem to poke his nose out and stay warm for the next few weeks.
A short walk on Colony Farm in Port Coquitlam, BC can bring confirmation of what’s going to happen in the air in this part of the country. There’s a lot of signs of fast coming spring – pretty warm air, chirping birds, first signs of blooming willow and leaf buds waiting to burst with new shapes and fresh colours in the trees, bushes and grass.

In the first rays of sun there’s still a lot what’s left over after the fall time – the shades of brown and beige predominant but it’s really nice to see the new creamy-yellow flowers of willow and rusty-red colours of twigs in bushes by the pond.
